INTERsrATE PROBLEMS.
The Jim Crow Car Controversy

The Georgia Railroad co. has filed an answer
before the Interstate Commission to the COM
plant OF w. H. Heard. eolored, that he was COM
PEELED to ride in the ''dirty Jim Crow car" The
answer denies that the company is responsible for
the designation bestowed upon the car, and de-
clares that the cars set apart for colored passen
gers are as comfortable as well ventilated, and as
clean as any run on the road.

PETITIONS RECEIVED TO-DAY.
Tne Interstate Commission to-day received from
Thos. l. Greene manager of the merchants freight
bureau OF New York, petitions, signed by 2S1 mer-
chants In the States of Michigan Illinois Indiana,
OHIO, pennsylyanta and Delaware, asking that the
use on the trunk lines C he New YORK Central and ID
Hudson River, Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern, 0pennsyivania, Baltimore and Ohio, and
rected. It is asked that restoration
OF the classification in effect prior to
tn the enactment Of the interstate law be ordered.
The petitions set forth that the trunk lines en-
gagged in interstate commerce have adopted q
classifcatton without consulting shippers, by
wi which the shipper @ OF less than carload charged
the shipper of carload, thus perpetrating under
the guise OF classicatton" the unjust discrimina-
t1on against small shippers, which has heretofore
been Carried on under the guse Of special rates or
rebates, which the interstate commerce law was
designed to prevent; that the west bound classf-
cation OF the trunk lines before the enactment Of
the Interstate law was no higher or less than for
Carloads. "We claim" continue the petitioners,
THAT as the vote Of the small shipper had as much
TO do as that OF the large shipper with conferring
the franchises under which railroads are operated
they should be placed as near as possible on an
equality" This is complaint Of the same nature
as that recently made by the associated wholesale
grocers OF St Louis, and by the New York board Of
trade and transportation, and Mr.. Greene asks
that he AMI his clients be made parties in that
case. All the complaints will be heard together.
francis Il: Leggett Co., OF New York, have
also forwarded complaints OF the same nature
against the trunk lines The substance Of the
complaint in all these cases Is that in charging
higher rates for smaller quantities the railroads
SHOW undue preference for the larger shippers,
and thus violate section two OF the Interstate COM
merce act. which prohibits all sorts OF ravortism
or discrimination ''fOr like and contempOraneOuS
service under substantially similar circumstances
and conditions"

WHY he SEIZED THE SCHOONER ANNIE W. HODGDoN.
Capt Knowlton states that when he seized the
Gloucester schooner, Annie w. HOdgdon, he had
no doubt the vessel was going to leave the coast

never heard OF being used for bait, he had no
reason for supp0sing that she violated the treaty

Inns Is ONE the MOST beaNtifqt un'
inhabited spot on earth I ever saw
It is just all the great Architect Of the
universe could make it; only needs
the finishing touch Of christian civ.
ilization to make it the Eden Of
America.
This plain reaches fifteen miles
north and south and three hundred
miles east and west, whereon the two
ranges come together at what is
known as STEMS Gap. Then we pass
over into Arizona. This is quite a
desert; not SO prepossessing, but a
nice country and q delightful climate,
with many nice towns built mainly
out of the dobis (what we would call
sun-dried brick) about Sxl6 inches;
make quite a nice house; fiat roof;
not sign of agricultural purauits; !;
live wholly upon their herds and
minerals.
After few hours we reached the
Gila Valley, which is . nice little
stream with a very fertile valley.
Down its border we descended with
speed of the wind until all at once the
brilliant electric lights, like so many
stars, burst forth from the Arizona
penitentiary at Fort Yarnd, situated
on the east bank of the Colorado
viver, which is the State line between
Arizona and California. After cross
ing the river, over an elegant iron
bridge, we set our feet upon Califor-
mia soil, Here we expected to aes the
river Of milk and honey, with its
beautiful banks bedeckud with all the
fruits of a tropical cline. But such a
disappointment to the eye starving
for a change! First to be seen was
the great American desert-an ocean
of pure white sand with here and
there small evergreen shrub almost
covered by the drifting sands. The
scene brought afresh to my memory
The many thrilling adventures of the
missioary's life, and many of their
bones are bIeeching upon those sands
in attestation to the truth and genu-
neness nf their zeal.
What tree-less, bird-less, hope
less plain of hundred and fifty
niles; when all at once the noun
aims on our right raised their lofty
reads above US until the beautiful
white snow could be seen on their
'ummits. Then on our left could be
sen the growing wheat fields and
beautiful vineyards,and the fat herds
;razing on the green fields of alfalfa,
n lying down under the weeping
willows that grow SO luxuriantly all
he year round.
Then comes the fertile canyons and
legant suburban residences sur '
and overlooking the lovely ,
ity of Los Angeles. Here we met
he army of hotel clerks soliciting
ustom for their. respective houses, :
nd we found ourselves easily solic-
ed to the Matte House. 3
